Introduction

Today seems like a good day to start a challenge and a blog I guess.  We were talking at work and Katie, an avid blog reader, told us about a blog story that she had read about a family that only eats ribeye steaks and drinks water. That is it, just ribeye and water.  How can they do that?  I ate Paleo a few years ago but didn't continue for some reason.  So needing motivation and a starting point to loose about 50 lbs I jumped at the opportunity to try this challenge.  I am only going to eat beef and water for 2 weeks, and I will blog about it and be honest about the start and end  results and issues encountered along the way.

A little bit about me, My name is Eric, I am 45 years old I am married, with 4 children from 20 to 13, and am a bit overweight.  OK, I am way overweight.  You know I could lose a few pounds.  The government food plate/pyramid b.s. says I should weight, for my height, about 175 lbs.  I hate the government.  I currently weigh 241.5 as of today.  I would like to get to around 200, possibly even lose 50 lbs in the next few months.  I will go into my other upcoming challenges later in the blog.

The plan for the blog right now is to just get to the beginning.  I need to cut out coffee and soda as drinks.  I love coffee with cream and real vanilla, and the one soda that I drink, generally, every day.  Foods, obviously all non beef products are gone.  Fun Fact: Hey did you know that cattle that are destined to be eaten are called Beeves?

Oh, one more thing and I will move along is that I recognize that Paleo and No Carb and Low Carb are different food lifestyles.  I get that.  I will try to be as accurate as I can be but hey, in the end I want to lose weight and be healthy.

And remember 2 weeks with just meat and water coming up.
